DC-DC converters are widely used components that convert DC power from one voltage to another, producing a regulated output voltage. These devices are used in many electronic products, including laptops, mobile phones, and instrumentation. Like any device, DC-DC converters need to be characterized by manufacturers and by engineers evaluating them for a design. Given the […]

Alright! So hello everyone! Long time user, follower, commenter but first time iblest here! So for my first instructable I thought I’d share a recent simple project I made; a Buck Converter. Buck Converters are great! I use them all over the place in many of my nerdy, techy, geeky hobbiest projects. They also can

Such is the popularity of DC-to-DC voltage converters (“switching regulators”)––due to their high efficiency across wide input- and output-voltage ranges––that chip makers have focused a lot of research dollars on squeezing the essential components of the devices into modules. These modules typically include pulse-width-modulation (PWM) controllers and switching elements in a single, compact package, easing
